Kuru I of Persia

Kuru (345 AD-) was a rebellious nobleman of the Sassanid Empire who joined the Eastern Roman Empire in 366 AD during the Sassanid Civil War.

Biography
Kuru was a member of the Sassanid aristocracy, and was a family member of Emperor Shapur II of Persia. He was a poor commander with no management or influence, but when the rebellious noble Buran and his Eastern Roman Empire escort engaged Kuru in battle near Hatra in summer of 366 AD, Kuru was victorious. But Kuru, disrespected by his king, turned colours and joined the Roman-provoked rebellion in Assyria. Kuru, Buran, and Equitius Flavius together took control of the city of Hatra, and Buran was installed as governor. Equitius and Kuru continued on, marching on the Persian capital of Ctesiphon.
